Leonard Cheshire Careers and Employment

I worked nightshift and was very fortunate to work with what I now call friends. Good communicators and the work was fairly allocated. The service users were so appreciative of your assistance and it's easy to get attached to them. Had some good laughs yet everything remained professional when required. A good bunch of people to work for. I would recommend.

There is better out there

My experience with this company was horrendous. Team leaders have no leader ship training and poor managers who don't care about you. This Company enables you like it does with their residences. Poor hygiene, stressful environment and team leaders and managers are biggest bullies except one. Team leaders think they you are beneath them and have no experience in management and they double standard. In all I had my worst experience there. I couldn't believe how much better it was out there until I started with my current job. They respect you, appreciate you, value you and make you feel good by supporting you. No wonder they are a 5 star Company.

Vert stressful company to work for

No recognition or thank you to staff who gave up annual leave to cover shifts when needed, and calling in agency instead of asking bank staff if they can cover. Management from further a field coming in to the work place when even in total lockdown, no continuity with the the workplace. Company only interested in saving money and not caring about staff or the clients as just evicted 6 people from 2 of the homes and closed them down with only 2months notice and they have been supported by the organisation over 40yrs. They have closed alot of homes down over the last few yrs

A lot of responsibilities in the job but fantastic management.

I would never have left Leonard Cheshire except through my own personal issues. Management and staff are great and very easy to talk to. Challenging work but excellent for advancing into social work or care industry in general. Fantastic place to work.
